"Hey, doll. Could you scare up another round for our table over here? And tell the cook this is low grade dog food. I've had better food at the ballgame, you know? This steak still has marks from where the jockey was hitting it." Al Czervik, aka Rodney Dangerfield in "Caddyshack" (1980)

Team(s) Supported: Aussie cricket team, Liverpool FC (it's a long story) and the mighty blue boys in the AFL. I like watching good teams performing well. An advid fan of the Olympic Games. Looking forward to Rio in 2016 & Tokyo in 2020!

I'd like to see a domestic version of The Ashes where the Sheffield Shield winners take on the County Champions

That would be good. Both countries' Rugby Leagues have been particpating in this sort of thing for the past decade or so - although it seems to have gotten out of hand lately.

Your point relates to CA announcing that, for the second half of the Sheffield Shield next season, the Duke ball will be used. An obvious effort to get Aus players used to the ball before the next Ashes test series in England - in 2019...

That asterisk is a far bigger penalty for Victoria than the five runs and the ball change. Though the players are blameless here (as far as I know). I don't like the idea of the play off anyway, with SA finishing top of the league over the whole Australian summer, although narrowly.

There was a lot of turnover in the state sides, and they looked hard to recocnise towards the end of the season.

Well done to Ben Dunk and Joe Mennie, top run scorer and wicket taker.
